The way between Nuwara Eliya and Kandy is really impressive because of its scenic views over tea plantations. The road is small and twisty, but stopping every 100 meters necessary as the outstanding view changes very often.

This morning was again an early one. We got up at 4:30 am to drive a long long way up to the Horton Plains which basically begin in Ohiya. So we drove with our still slightly pissed driver from Ella to Ohiya, where we started with our breakfast on the road. This breakfast consisted of pretty good tea and some cake.

The area between Ella and Kandy is very famous because of its tea fields and some national parks. Therefore we hired a scooter to learn more about this nice area.

After our Yala Safari, we drove upwards on the coast to reach Kirinda beach before we decided to turn left heading up to Ella.

The next day we had an early start again. Early means in this case something between 5:00 and 5:30 am…
But safaris start quite early and therefore we drove last night from Mirissa beach to Tissamaharama were we found a pretty poor guest house but very close to the Yala National park.
